R: overlapping tooltips when hovering in ggplotly

I have this code. Basically, when mousing over the ggplotly plot in the value=50, I have two labels overlapping each other so basically I cannot see the West label, only the South.

How can I prevent that from happening? What am I doing wrong? I would like to see both labels separated when mousing over.

library(ggplot2)
library(ggplotly)

data <- data.frame(
  name=c( "A"  ),
  value=c( 30,40,50,50),
  location=c("North","East", "West","South")
)

pxp<- ggplot(data, aes(x=name, y=value, text=location)) + geom_boxplot() +geom_point() +
  theme_bw() + theme(panel.border = element_blank(), panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
                     panel.grid.minor = element_blank(), axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"))+
  labs(y="Value")
ggplotly(pxp)

enter image description here Thank you,

You can use jitter and give appropriate width and height to see the points separately. Then it displays the appropriate values when you hover. Try this

pxp<- ggplot(data, aes(x=name, y=value, text=location)) + geom_boxplot() + # geom_point(position=jitter, width=0.1) +
  geom_jitter(alpha=0.6, width=0.02, height=0.1)+
  theme_bw() + theme(panel.border = element_blank(), panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
                     panel.grid.minor = element_blank(), axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"))+
  labs(y="Value")
ggplotly(pxp)

output
